| 2015-12-07 | |
| [NYTIMES] Counter-terrorism police in Britannia on Sunday investigated a stabbing at a London Underground station in which a man brandishing a knife injured two people and reportedly said "This is for Syria." Police jugged Drop the rosco, Muggsy, or you're one with the ages! a 29-year-old man late Saturday and said they are treating the "violent unprovoked knife attack" at east London's Leytonstone subway station as a "terrorist incident." Richard Walton, chief of Scotland Yard's counter-terrorism command, said the decision was made because of information received from witnesses and subsequent police investigations. The force said it was searching a residential address in east London, but declined to say whether they were looking for other suspects. British media widely reported that the suspect linked his actions to Syria after the attack. The claim could not be independently verified, but the incident comes just days after Parliament approved British ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group targets in Syria.
Police said the stabbing victim was in a stable condition in an east London hospital and his injuries were not believed to be life-threatening. The attacker may have arrived at the station by train, said a passenger who arrived at Leytonstone shortly before the attack and had seen a man fitting the suspect's description. "I don't know if it was the same gentleman that they caught, but he was very aggressive, he was a bit angry, shouting, abusing... he was on the train," a woman who gave her name only as Christina told AFP. | |
